@keirforpm @enzoreds @paulmasonnews yes, Enzo, didn’t you see? Millions! That’s why Labour is now 20 points ahead in the polls. Didn’t you notice?

@FinalOverdrive because you totally know what aliens would find interesting or what sorts of technology they might have.

Wed 29 Apr 2020 18:40

@FinalOverdrive I said “possible” aliens. I said it to head off the predictable knee-jerk reactions of the sort of people who go into all situations assuming they’re smarter & better than everybody else. A lot of good it did me.

@hammasinpitta @paulmasonnews nah he just got personally pissed off at someone in Corbyn’s camp for some reason and is WAY overcompensating

Wed 29 Apr 2020 18:26

@hammasinpitta @paulmasonnews And he thinks the way to prevent that is to eliminate a meaningful left opposition. But of course. That’s always worked in the past

@dadovdeon @wales_steve @paulmasonnews The media. He is the candidate of Fleet Street. If only journalists could vote he’d be in by a landslide

@NicuMihalache another guy who either wants me not to write so many books, or suffers from that all-too-common form of stupidity which makes you regularly assume other people can be assumed to be so stupid they don’t understand the screamingly obvious

@tropicalontour @paulmasonnews yeah it’s not like people are dying right now. Or… is the idea that it’s better lots and lots of them die now because that way it’ll be easier to blame the gov’t later? This is the guy you support, eh Paul?

@Old_soul84 I wasn’t even talking about my accomplishments, I just confessed I hadn’t done much organising in recent years. But really that’s just her way of being friendly, so I took it in that spirit.

@JBujes That’s a gratifying idea because then you don’t have to feel guilty about being angry at them

@paniq @LongtimesLong This is like if I wrote “no one ever felt so chilled to the bone by fear”, & someone objected “people who are literally left naked in the snow are more chilled to the bone” & when I said “but I wrote ‘by fear'” they replied “if you were naked in the snow you’d be terrified too!”

Tue 28 Apr 2020 18:39

@rattlecans @LongtimesLong @paniq “No one has ever felt so oppressed.” “People who have giant weights literally fall down on them feel pressed down even more!” “I have never felt so chilled to my bones by fear.” “People who are left on the North Pole feel even more frightened….”

@LongtimesLong @paniq pretty much all direct physical violence has an immense psychological toll. Honestly! You know I anticipated this reaction but then decided to trust you’d be better. A: of all mental prisons, this is the worst B: real prisons are worse because they’re mental prisons too!

@cruciverberella @girlziplocked thanks for having me, I only wish I could have met everyone individually.

Tue 28 Apr 2020 11:51

@ursulawren yes the idea that time is something that can be precisely measured, and therefore “spent” “used” “wasted” “managed” etc is deeply capitalist

Tue 28 Apr 2020 11:49

@paniq well yes, that’s what I was starting to get at with the industrial school system but I didn’t develop it (should have). They crush your ability to entertain yourself. It’s an unparalleled spiritual violence.
